Full day today for Euroleague with 7 !!! races. The one who opens the day and my betting options is the match Zenit- Alba.
The first crash for Zenit is now a fact (62-91) as it collapsed in the second half accepting 47 points while it barely reached 21. We were not used to such appearances since the previous heavy defeat was by Ts.s.ka with the certainly more "soft" '' 83-65 and away from home in fact. Pangos, who is also Zenit's key, remained in shallow water both in execution and in creation. Poithres and Baron were the only ones who escaped mediocrity and were the only double digits.

On the other hand Alba comes from a victory over Panathinaikos with 74-65. The match was ambiguous with Panathinaikos until the end of the 3rd period being in front almost all the time but in the last period it did not find a reaction to the three-pointers of Tieman who with 4 in a row solved the heavy bond for Alba. The injured had returned except for Granger but obviously out of rhythm did not help the team.
Summing up I think Zenit can not make a second such bad appearance and logically he will react as if he does not win the situation for the case of qualification in the 8 will start to get involved after he lost the tie from Valencia that follows with a victory less. Alba is an unpredictable team but did not convince me with her appearance against a clearly more unprepared team like Panathinaikos. Along with the Under in the selections given the reaction of the host.
The point I choose is ... Zenith (-3.5 & Under 157.5 pts) in performance 2.56 at stoiximan.
